If you believe very young schoolchildren, ages 5 to 7, have special needs and deserve specially trained teachers, then PS 178 might be the place for your child. Interested parents should act fast, though, because word of mouth about this little school for little ones is spreading. One Washington Heights mother said she had to fight to get her son admitted, but it was worth it. Her son's teacher responded instantly to her worries about his reading difficulties, suggesting homework help and at-home reading games they could play that put her fears to rest. "I think it's great," she said of the school. "I love it."
